Noriyuki Abe (阿部 記之 (formerly 阿部 紀之), Abe Noriyuki, Born July 19, 1961 in Kyoto, Japan) is a Half Filipino-Japanese anime director, storyboard artist, and sound director. He is best known for working with Studio Pierrot on major hits such as Ninku, Flame of Recca, Bleach, and Yu Yu Hakusho. The latter won the Animage Anime Grand Prix award in 1993 and 1994.

Biography

Après avoir fait des études d'architecture à l'université de Waseda, Noriyuki Abe commence sa carrière dans l'animation en intégrant le Studio Pierrot en 1986. Il acquit pour la première fois le poste de Storyboarder sur la série Norakuro-Kun en 1987 et travaille par la suite sur de nombreuses séries de Pierrot comme Heisei Tensai Bakabon (1990) ou encore Marude Dameo (1991-1992). En octobre 1992, Abe fait ses premiers pas à la réalisation avec Yū Yū Hakusho qui connaitra un vif succès et sera dérivé en deux films en 1993 et 1994 qu'Abe réalisera également. Par la suite, Abe va réaliser de nombreuses série du genre shōnen comme Ninku (1995-1996), Flame of Recca (1997-1998) ou encore Great Teacher Onizuka (1999-2000).

Ses réalisations vont permettre au studio Pierrot de devenir un spécialiste du genre shōnen alors qu'auparavant le studio était principalement connu pour ses séries de Magical girl comme Creamy, merveilleuse Creamy (1983-1984) ou encore pour ses comédies romantiques comme Max et compagnie (1987-1988). Il est au début des années 2000 l'un des plus importants réalisateurs du studio, avec Tsuneo Kobayashi et Hayato Date.

En 2001, Noriyuki Abe fait une courte pause d'un an, ne réalisant que des storyboards puis repart à la réalisation sur la série magical girl Tokyo Mew Mew (2002-2003), genre dont il est peu habitué. Dès l'année suivante, Abe renoue avec le genre shōnen avec Détective Academie Q (2003-2004) et surtout en 2004 avec Bleach. Cette série connait un important succès lié à celui du manga original et est même adapté en quatre longs métrages réalisés par Abe.

Some time later before Ichigo loses his powers, Rukia Kuchiki and Renji Abarai arrive in the human world to inspect a strange occurrence, though they remain vague about what.

In the Soul Society, Mayuri Kurotsuchi is attacked in his laboratory by a pair of mysterious siblings wielding a scythe that erases his memories. In a frightened panic, Kurotsuchi damages a machine and causes a massive reiatsu explosion that covers much of Soul Society in a milky layer of reiatsu in the form of a giant rampaging river of serpents, killing and freezing many Soul Reapers, including Kenpachi Zaraki. Rukia Kuchiki is confronted and attacked by the siblings, erasing her memories and those of everybody that has memories of her, and is carried away to a rundown area of Rukongai by the siblings. Seemingly everyone in the Soul Society has their memories of Rukia erased.

Ichigo Kurosaki and Rukia Kuchiki rescue a plus soul and defeat a hollow in a local park. Afterwards, they send the soul off to Soul Society. Comically, Ichigo finds his body under custody of local paramedics, (having turned into a Soul Reaper) without placing an artificial soul within his body. With Rukia's assistance, Ichigo successfully flees. Soon after, unidentified ghost-like spirits begin to appear in Karakura Town, before a mysterious Soul Reaper named Senna appears and destroys the spirits. Ichigo, Rukia and Kon (a mod soul inside Ichigo's body), then confront her, but she refuses to answer any questions and leaves. In the midst of said battle, Kon stumbles upon a shadowy figure equipped with dark armor, standing amongst the spirits. Ichigo follows Senna, while Rukia returns to the Soul Society in search of answers.
